Anybody have these or know of a parts car?

. Spare tire bolt and bracket for behind the back seat

. Choke cable and knob

. Throttle cable and knob

. Gauge cluster

. Temp gauge

. Clock

. Glove box latch

Does anyone sell a ready made headliner for this car?

Thanks MoBros.

Hi Reg

Have also e-mailed you, the knobs etc will be hard to find, doesn't seem like there is even anyone making replicas...just keep looking. The gauge clusters are regular on ebay as are temp gauges. The spare wheel brackets may turn up...particularly from guys that modify their cars.

Clock...have only ever seen ONE...good luck:D .

Glove box knob...the plastic ones crack and break so are hard to find but again on ebay are chromed metal lockable ones...for not a lot of cash.

Thanks David ! I emailed you at home. From your photos I see more things missing on mine. What do the two knobs to the right of the ignition switch operate?

I thought the 38 Dodges came with a Sisson automatic choke, like on my 37. In fact, I have a dummy knob on the dash that says only 'Dodge; it's the second knob from the right and does nothing but fill the hole where the choke cable went on the Plymouths.

You are correct Nile. My 38 has a 51 or 52 D42 engine in it with a dismantled Sisson choke and a cheap cable and knob operating the choke. I'll get rid of that cable and maybe install a courtesy light there or something dumb to replace the dummy knob.

There are 4 holes on the dash .....2 on either side of the key.

Headlight,Panel Light,Dummy Knob, and ???

What's the 4th hole for on your 37 Nile?

[Guest Nile Limbaugh]

Reg, left to right: headlights, hand throttle, dummy, dash panel lights. When I bought mine the dummy was used for a hand choke although I discovered that the sisson was OK, just needed to be connected. I have a factory manual for the 37 so if you have any questions let me know.

Hi Reg. On mine from L to R are Headlight, panel, Ignition, choke, wipers. Having said all this, the panel switch activates blue LED "glo lights" in the engine bay, so at night a very slight blue tinge of light comes through the side louvers. I have converted wipers to electric and installed a manual choke. The wiper and choke knobs are orphans...not genuine
